a DAY in the LIFE of ......PRESCHOOLERS.... "IN THE HOUSE"


HERE IS OUR........, TODAY

Lana, shaping NUMBERS with playdough: she adds water on #9
Experiment#9+H2O = a BIG mess!

Tali eating the playdough lid..."Hey, my tongue is learning."
Lana learning a few practical skills: The making of a BA-BAH (baby bottle)
ONE: theres counting and measuring 3 scoops

TWO: Doing the "Shake It" dance (Don't 4-get the Lid)
Ahhhh then Finally......
THREE:....the actual product gets delivered to the customer.
To make life more meaningful I play.... Preschool Teacher with my kids
we ride in a pretend bus,
(from the Great room 2 the Kitchen.)
(it's pretty much Everyday now, except Tuesdays which is Dad's Day off)
I don't really prepare much ahead, I just grab and pull stuff on the spot.
But I like to record what we went over, only to keep track of what they learned...

Since, it rained last night..we learned how clouds turn into rain.
(required : just a cottonball and water)
We took a field trip to : The back yard and
Lana counted the clouds...1...2....3
These workbooks I found in the Target $1 buck bins

(pretty thrifty, they come with cool stickers too)
She learned to follow directions..here Uhmmmm ,
I am laughing inside because that graph she really did by herself, & it is pretty congruent with how she actually follows my verbal directions. Close enough Lana, Good Job!
Then she applies what she has learned for herself and makes Chocolate milk .......Oh wait Don't....Do that...oh, OH. Oh no...Messes ....What Have I Done???
